Golden Rams struggle in first preseason game

The preseason isn't everything. In fact, rarely does it mean much. But Albany State may have a little concern after Monday's preseason debut.

The Golden Rams were blown out by NAIA Middle Georgia State 86-59 Monday night in Cochran.

Freshman guard Virgil Fields led the Rams with 11 points and five rebounds. Fields was the only Ram in double figures, scoring wise.

Offensively, the struggles of a year ago returned. The Golden Rams shot just 22-72 (30.6%) from the field, and 4-24 (16.7%) from behind the arc. ASU couldn't find their shot from the free throw line either, going 11-23.
